D Is For Detectives In Fabric!

Good morning!Thank you to everyone who came up with so many great suggestions for 'D is For...'.

It was Steph at sassybellesspotlight.blogspot.com who came up with D Is For Detectives. I knew it would be quite a challenge and it did take me out of my 'comfort zone' with regard to the items I have featured, but I think that made it all the more fun and I hope more interesting for you.

To begin with The Tail Wind Cape is described as "Perfect for playing detective and cracking the case", Caution: Tres Chic detective at work!

The Inverness coat is a type of formal overcoat, fashionable in the Victorian and Edwardian periods, reminiscent of the Sherlock Holmes detective coat. Perfect for historical reenactment, cowboy or Victorian eras. Bang up to date for Steampunk and Gothic fans!

A stitched illustration of a fingerprint. Hand embroidered over original drawing in black thread on thick cream, heavy weave, cotton fabric. There's something about a fingerprint that gives me a chill!

Great contemporary deerstalker unisex hat handmade from a high quality tweed fabric in browns/beige/blue. I'm so glad I have an excuse to feature an item from Moaning Minnie, I love her hats. I must buy myself one as the cold weather sets in.

The white organic cotton cami is hand painted with Poirot's signature bowler hat and mustache. Inside the hat is another of Poirot's endearing traits, a quote about the "little gray cells". Cute PJs with an intellectual twist!

Love the tote...Along the same lines as the D is for Detective...E is for Elementary (my dear fellow!)..Thanks for following one of my blogs, jane on jane st, have some things coming up on that sometime next month...Terese
